Description

Calculus.jl is not really maintained. I am not fully sure how deeply it is used in ApproxFun.jl, but if possible, it would be good to remove.

Of course, the package is stable and there is no urgency. I'm just noting it here for someone who may want to use this as a way to get involved.

Research direction

Begin by tracing how Calculus.jl is used throughout ApproxFun.jl and how it is declared as a dependency. Confirm whether those uses can be removed without changing behavior. Done means ApproxFun.jl no longer depends on Calculus.jl.
